Google made it too easy to make in app purchase.
If you don't pay attention, when purchasing an app or anything else the first time, you enable by default the "fast workflow" that doesn't require authorization for the following purchase.
It's also hard to find the setting again in the play store app.
All is made to reduce friction when purchasing... Which doesn't align with the goal of most parents.
